Recalling the  kindness of the former ANC leader, Bachchan  wrote on his blog: &amp;quot;Mandela the movie produced by dear friend Anant Singh from South Africa, and he and his team solely responsible through the kindness of Mr Mandela to give us the permission to bring the very first Concert to South Africa at a time when Apartheid was just on its way out.&amp;quot; The 71-year old actor also recollected his experience of performing in South Africa over two decades ago.  &amp;quot;What a memorable trip to Durban and Johannesburg during the time of the very first concert in South Africa in which we performed in 1990,&amp;quot; he said.    &amp;quot;Incredible moments, the warmth and the affection of the people of South Africa, their stance on matters that concerned them politically, generous in their praise and most dignified in their reception to me.&amp;quot; The film&amp;#039;s premiere was held on January 22 in the presence of two of the movie&amp;#039;s actors, Atandwa Kani and Terry Pheto.  Bollywood&amp;#039;s biggest stars paid tribute to the former South African President, who died on December 5. The anti-apartheid leader died peacefully at his home in Johannesburg, South Africa, surrounded by his family. He was 95. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
